Thanks girls
I'm just really confused about what to do.
Violet got into such a predictable routine with her bottles that I'd have one ready for when she was due so that she didn't have to sit crying ages for it.
She wanted feeding every 4hrs on the dot and I've kept to every 4hrs since birth and now I don't think she needs it so often. If I let it go past 4hrs, she won't cry for it, but then she doesn't refuse it if offered either.
However, she is taking less of every bottle offered. She's been having 4x8oz bottles as well as her food but this week she's only taking 6oz of all of them.
So, should I drop to 4x6oz or try to actually drop a feed? And if I drop a feed, do I offer 6oz (as that's all she's taking at the mo each time) or go back to 8oz??
I know she'll quite happily go more than 4hrs as yesterday she went from 8.30am - 2.30pm and only had one then because I offered it, thinking she'd "better have one as it's been 6hrs".
I know I've caused this myself by just giving her a bottle every 4hrs but I didn't wanna make her cry for ages waiting and now I don't know what to do
